Dan Lincoln - keeper at Dorking Wanderers and also a first class County wicketkeeper.
Was with our youth set up - can throw one handed, comfortably into the opponents half!; to the edge of the opponents penalty area!
Brilliant for breaks from opponents corners.
He throws it like a discus!
Interesting what he says about the style of football in our youth set up…
https://youtu.be/ob7fmMFaWHcBeing similar to the way Dorking play; and I have seen them play; movement, speed, width, crosses, aggressive, focussed, play through the press and then use width and yet do it all with calmness and can be versatile; changing formations but still keeping the ball and getting at opponents.
Excellent head coach (Marc white) and a brilliant coaching team around him (the most effective recruitment policy, is always to try and recruit people better than you) and Marc White is always looking for better people and the Club are on a mission.
So what happens to our playing system/style when players come into our first team? It’s certainly doesn’t continue.
They certainly do not play like the team in our youth system; as described by Dan Lincoln.
Our first team are slow, square, no aggression, no movement, no pace, no width, no calmness,….
Dorking have a way of playing that runs through the Club. We are supposed to be a much more professional set up.
Our facilities are; they are top notch but those who inhabit them; are not, right now and our ‘way of playing’ is really not great; that is if we even have such a thing.
